The Do Book Company publish varied titles, all at inspiring the reader to (you guessed it) do something. I’m reading “Do Fly” at the moment, hoping to pick up tips on how to run a side business passion project whilst holding down a Nine-to-five.

Those times when you invite your not-quite-neighbours round to help you eat your excess dinner and play a little Scrabble… and it takes three bottles of wine, several cat interludes, one under-set cheesecake pudding, two playlists and nearly three hours to finish the game.

I love the really specific folklore. None of this “Why are we here? Who made us? WTF is up with that half of the year where nothing grows?”

No, this story is literally, “gosh, that volcanic eruption sure did cause a devastating flood!”, “know who I blame? Katla. Nobody’s seen her since, and we all suspected it was her what done in Barði anyway. Reckon she sent a flood to cover her tracks and got away in those magical breeches of hers.” “Yeah, makes sense, that does. What a hag.”
